Starkey’s responses came after he posted an image of himself hanging out with Sean Lennon and fans began proposing the supergroup idea.
“What a guy (although he looks completely insane here and he is and so are we),” wrote Starkey in his caption. “It was so great that Sean invited us to hang at the Dakota and actually get to know each other a bit. We had a gas, and I have to say being in the apartment … I experienced such an overwhelming feeling of love that we didn’t wanna leave.”
Starkey’s responses to fans pushing for the Beatles kids supergroup have been mostly light-hearted. “Would I love to see you, Dhani, and Sean do something together,” wrote one fan, to Starkey’s response “[You] mean a three-way right?”
The same fan quickly elaborated “[I] was thinking more musical! You are all so talented and wonderful artists. I think your fathers knew each other, too.” The drummer quipped “If we had spent three years sleeping on flea-infested mattresses in the back room of a Hamburg club it might have chemistry, but we have been swaddled in silken robes in houses so big that it’s too far to go and make a piece of toast.”
Another fan also suggested Starkey get together with Paul McCartney‘s son James and John’s older son Julian Lennon, but the drummer did not respond.
Though it doesn’t sound like there’s a supergroup forming with The Beatles’ sons anytime soon, all have already established their own careers as solo artists, producers, composers, musicians, and songwriters.
Like his father, Starkey is also a drummer and has been playing and recording with The Who since 1996, along with previously working with Oasis. He has also collaborated with Ringo Starr and His Third All-Starr Band and his father’s solo albums, along with the late bassist of The Who, John Entwistle, Simon Townshend, younger brother of Pete, and Toots and the Maytals, among many other artists. -
